The same quality of oil sold by Halfrauds can be got for around £12.00 or less at factors. Anybody that buys a ANYTHING from Halfrauds is being ripped off in a big way. Son in law was quoted £108.00 for a battery for his car. I got him a Varta from my supplier £54.00. If you buy stuff from Halfrauds at their prices you need your bumps feeling. They are a complete and utter ripoff.

Lesson here then is always buy your stuff in the week, ready for Sunday. Must admit their tools look ok, how they would stand up to daily use is another matter. Halfrauds capless 5w side lamp bulbs £4.28 a pair. Factors 30p each. Halfrauds yellow 21w flasher bulbs £5.98 per pair. Factor 70p each. Bulbs in bulk boxes from factors a lot less, sides maybe 20p each flashers 40p each. Go figure.

Ironically I got a very good battery from a branch of Kwik Fit in Richmond, with a 3 yr warranty.
Best price, even lower than GSF and CAF (auto factors), even with discount !
However I had to shop around, and got a crappy phone response from Staines branch !

Hope that helps someone that needs a battery !
